Who are the 2025 F1 race engineers and what exactly are their roles?

The role of a race engineer in F1 is one of the most important in the sport.

They provide a direct link between the driver and the pit wall and feed the driver crucial information throughout weekend sessions.

You will often hear their voices over the team radio as they play out on the live broadcast, making for some memorable interactions between driver and engineer.

But who are the race engineers who are in constant communication with the drivers during race weekends?
